range of zones as follows: Move to the zone number column and highlighting the first zone to test, then
Press the ✔ button – the display will then ask for the last zone to be tested.
Individual zones can then be toggled in or out of test by pressing the ✔ button.
To leave the Zone Test menu, press the ‘Esc’ button. If there are still any zones in a test condition a pop-up
